Therapy for grief across Washingtn State
I don’t know how to be okay. Will the pain ever stop?
Since that day, everything has felt like you’re in a fog, moving through the days but not truly living your life. One moment, you’re fine, and the next, the weight of grief hits you like a wave. Some days, you might feel like you’ve lost part of yourself. You may catch yourself thinking, “How do I keep going without them?” The things that used to bring you joy may feel hollow, and even the simplest tasks feel impossible. You’re questioning everything—your beliefs, your purpose, and if you’ll ever feel at peace again.
“Grief is just love with no place to go.”
- Jamie Anderson
My Approach
Grief involves you losing a part of yourself.
Grief is messy, unpredictable, and unique to each person, so I’m here to meet you where you are. When you’re someone who’s always been the caretaker and problem solver, it can feel overwhelming to face your own pain. There’s no "right" way to grieve or a set timeline for healing—you can take your time here, with no judgment or expectations.
We’ll start by exploring what truly matters to you—your values, your faith, your family—and how those things influence your grief. We’ll talk through tough questions like: What does this loss mean to you? What did their passing tell you about life? Grief can stir up powerful reflections, and together, we’ll unpack them so you don’t have to carry it all alone.
I also recognize that grief isn’t always directly tied to the loss of a loved one. There can be deep grief in the disconnection from your culture, your community, and the family members who are far away or whom you may not see as often. Whether it’s the loss of a tradition, a language, or just the ability to be with your loved ones, these types of losses can feel just as heavy. Together, we can explore how these feelings of distance and longing impact your grief and your identity.
I’ve created this space specifically with you in mind—to share what’s weighing on you freely and to find solace, guidance, and support. Grief often comes with guilt, anger, or confusion, and it can feel hard to voice that. I’ve been there myself, and I’ll share what helped me through it. Most importantly, we’ll take this journey at your pace, and I’ll be right beside you—helping you navigate it all until it feels just a little bit lighter.
